Hello people :)
Name’s Krish. I must confess I didn’t know about this site until I met Dave and Christel on Saturday at the Phoenix where they spoke about it….and zombies.
I have been shooting full bore about 11 years now. Don’t know much about modern rifles. Am interested in vintage and classic rifles and shoot a fair bit of both. Passion is BPCR and I shoot both 45/70 and 45/90, mostly with paper patch bullets.
Oh yeah, I also like bowie knives and tomahawks too :mrgreen:
Now where are the zombies???
ATB and Best Regards.

Early SMLE's? It is always nice when your wife ask you why you didn’t buy a rifle
I was very impressed with the rifle you were shooting Saturday. Could you possibly post some pictures and/or some information up please as I for one would like to know more shooting it and loading for it. I still maintain it is flaky, old fashioned and best got rid of but I suspect you are going to be keeping it for a while yet :lol: :lol:

This is my Shiloh Long Range Express in 45-90 that I used on Saturday for the BPCR matches.
It sports a 1:18 twist, 34in octagonal bbl and weighs at approximately 15lbs. It has a 'Goodwin' type vernier rear sight. I shoot it exclusively with paper patch bullets.
